The Propoged Presbvterian ONION.


1t is probable that the Southern and
Northern Presbyterian churches will, in the
near future, find a satisfactory basis for
union, or at least cooperation. The com
mittees appointed by the Southern Presby-
terrain General Assembly at st. Louis last
Saturday, to meet similar committee of
the Northern Presbyterian church, is com
posed of very able and fair-minded men,
who are sincerely anxious to do whatever
promises to advance the Presbyterian
church, North and South.
There is hardly room for doubt that union
would be beneficial. United, the church
would be stronger and more influential
About all the reasons which brought about
separation in 1861 no longer exist. The war
issues have been eliminated. from politics.
and why shouldn't they be eliminated from
the church?
In the debate in the General Assembly at
st. Louis on the question of union the Rev
DIR. j. NJ. P. Otis, of Alabama, made some re
marks which are very well worth the consid-
GRAFTON of the Southern branch of the church
After pointing out that the time is ripe for
an arbitration of the issues between the two
churches, and for the establishment of closer
relations between them, he said that the
invisible church was one and there was no
insurmountable obstacle in the way of the
visible church becoming one. He intimated
that if the two bodies did not become one
by some act of their own they would
eventually become one in another way
the stronger would be absorbed by the
weaker.
There is, of course, some ground for this
intimation The Northern body is not only
growing stronger at the North, but it is also
planting churches all over the South.
Northern wealth and Northern people are
pouring into the South. Many of these
people are Presbyterians, and they are
establishing the Northern Presbyterian
church on Southern soil In many of the
new towns that have sprung up in Tennes-
see, Alabama, Florida and Texas the North
ern Presbyterian church is found, and its
influence in the South will continue to
increase as immigration from the North to
the South becomes greater.
On the other hand, the Southern body has
no foothold at the North, and is not likely
to get any. The Southern Presbyterians
who locate there are not strong enough to
establish churches of their own, and they
very soon become members of the Northern
church. This condition of affairs may not
be altogether gratifying, but it nevertheless
exists, and it would only be folly to ignore
it.
There is considerable friction between
the two bodies and il is n biDdrance To the
growth to both 1t seems to be admitted
that the removal of it will be beneficial
North and South. Why not remove it,
then, by uniting the two bodies2 The aim
of both should be to do what will confer
the greatest benefits upon coming genera
tions

Not Good Reasons,

TIE New York Sun gives a few reasons
why it thinks Mr.. Cleveland will not be q
candidate in 1888. One of its reasons is that
the Democracy are not satisfied with him."
This would be a very good reason if it were
true. There may be some Democrats who
are not satisfied with him, but they are not
the Democracy. There are not enough of
them to make their influence felt in the
councils of the Democracy They are
mostly disappointed office seekers, or poll
ticians who have not been permitted to have
their way in matters in which they were in
tereSted. If the Democracy were dissatis-
fed with Mr.. Cleveland there wouldn't be
ghost of chance for his denomination.
What makes his denomination about certain
is that the Democracy are very well salts
fled with him. The Sun has mistaken few
disgruntled politicians for the Democracy
Another of the SUMS reasons is that sex
cepting only Lincoln and Grant, no Presi-
dent since Andrew Jackson has
been able, with all his efforts and all the
machinery of the administration, and all
the zeal of the office-holders, actual and pro
spective, to obtain for himself a second
Dun In ULllS IL SOOu T6dSOug
Quite number of Presidents have been re-
nominated, and reelected, and it would be
nothing strange or very unusual if 'Ir.
Cleveland should be added to the number.
It doesn't appear, however, that Mr.. Cleve-
land is seeking a second term. Nobody is
authorized to say that he wants it. The
weight of testimony is that he doesn't care
for it. He certainly is not using his office
TO secure a denomination.
The truth is, Mr.. Cleveland win be re-
nominated and reelected because the Dem
ocracy want him. The rank and file of the
Democratic party recognize in him leader
with whom they can win. They know him
to be an honest man who is disposed to adj
minister his great Office for the good of the
whole country. 1t is not an easy matter to
get another such man, and the Democracy
will hold ON to him for another term at
least.

The Water Supply.

What is the matter with the water works.
For two weeks or more the people of this
city have been complaining of an insufficient
supply of water. On Monday night the
fire department was unable to get enough
water with which to fight the large fire
which destroyed more than $3.50, 900 worth
of property, and the same condition of
affairs existed at the fire in the southern
part of the city a little over week ago,
when nearly dozen buildings were de-
stroyed.
The people are very patient, but they are
getting tired of this condition of affairs.
They are taxed pretty heavily for water,
and they have a right to what they pay for
if it can be had. If there is any good reason
why it cannot be had it ought to be stated.
Twice within a few weeks the supply has
been cut off entirely, and on one of these oc-
casions the city was without water for
twenty-four hours.
We have the artesian wells and the river
to draw supply from, and there is no doubt
that an ample supply can be obtained from
the two sources. 1t has not been stated that
there is anything the matter with the water
works machinery, and as far as known there
is nothing the matter with it. What, then,
is the TROUBLED Is it expected that the city
will go on from day to day and week to
week with an insufficient water supply
What is being done to~increase the supply,
if anything2 These are things which the
people would like to know.
It may be that neither of the fires, to
which attention has been called, could have
been rendered less destructive if the water
supply had been ample, but there are doubt
less many who think otherwise. 1t is Ger
tain, however, that fires are likely to reach
greater proportions than they would if there
were plenty of water for the use of the fire
department.
III there is any defect in the water works
it should be remedied at once. 1t is the
duty. not only Of those Of the Aldermen who
have especial charge of the water works, but
of the entire Council, to take hold of this
water Question at once, and settle it to the
satisfaction of the public. The two big fires
within two weeks are two warnings which
grave mistake to wait for another warming
before taking action.
The water works management claim that
there was plenty of water during Monday
nights. fire, and that the pressure was I'M
usually heavy. They suggest that the
trouble was with the fire engines that they
didn't have steam enough. Ought there not
to be an inquiry to find out where the
trouble was, in order that recurrence of it
may be prevented?
